For those of you that do not know, the Felix Sex Survey 2021 is currently open for submissions. If you have already completed it, I would like to thank you for trusting us with your information. I promise you that we will treat what you tell us with the strictest of confidence and the highest standard of anonymity.

Browsing through the results that we have already received, I have to admit a certain level of shock. There are some answers and confessions that not only surprise me, but horrify and concern me. The number of people reporting sex that is either transactional or non pleasurable is tragic. Some people have even admitted criminality. We have not yet begun analysing the results yet but I want to promise you now that when we do, we will treat your words with the consideration that they require.
